Normally, I would have the urge to throw a tantrum over an episode not getting a car win at all (like this one, for example)...however, I think I need to just calm down and avoid losing my temper over those losses.

In other words, I need to just Keep Calm and Price On.

[ooboh]

The “then” date in “Now or Then?” was August 2007 … gee, I wonder why they chose that date. (sarcasm)

Clueless here honestly.....what does that date represent?

[SamJ93]

Clueless here honestly.....what does that date represent?

I know it's roughly the time that Drew began taping his first episodes...but yeah, I don't see that as anything other than a coincidence. The Then date is always 10-12 years prior to the air date, and it happens to fall within that timeframe.

[JayC]

Tough Lucky $even with the two high numbers in a row, but not a total minefield.

I'm guessing Drew was alluding to August 2007 being the time when his first tapings began when he asked what was happening in August 2007. Easy playing, the honey buns and water were definitely going to be the Then products.

Mean Line em Up with the 0 being correct for the fourth digit. It seems to be the one car game where the price is guessed that we often see 0s in the price or repeating digits.

The corkscrew was definitely the toughest SP in Shell Game, and the cutting boards and weather radio might've tripped some up as well. Impressive he got 3 out of 4.

[htmlcc92]

Unless something was up with my Linux TV recording software or my signal, something seemed choppy with The Cats during 1 Right Price. I wonder if there was an edit there? It seemed to skip to a different spot twice in the prize description for the refrigerator.

[Teddy]

Even though both car games were the only two that were not won, it was quite a good show. Seeing that the Then date in Now...or Then was also when Drew's first episodes were taped, I knew it would show up eventually, and that he would jokingly wonder what happened in that month and year. Also, a great Shell Game, with a win on the first pick.
